6 WHAT CAN employing an apprentice DO FOR my business? Apprenticeships are an excellent way of reinvigorating your workforce and improving your bottom line. They can provide you with enthusiastic employees with the skills to have a lasting and positive impact on your company. Companies that employ apprentices see an increase in retention and loyalty, which means apprenticeships can form the cornerstone of your recruitment policy. Apprenticeships can be valuable to businesses of any size, whether you are a sole trader, small to medium enterprise or a multinational organisation. Existing employees can also begin an apprenticeship, enabling them to receive advanced technical training and gain a formal qualification whilst still contributing to your business. There is also a range of funding options and streams available; apprenticeships are fully-funded for an employee who is 16 to 18 years old, with government co-investment available for those who are 19 years old or older. Taking on an apprentice doesn t have to be a daunting proposition. Our expert apprenticeship team can offer you a free consultation to explain the benefits it will bring, and will provide support every step of the way. So, to find out more, contact our team and grow your company today.
